Believe it or not, should you wish to investigate further, there IS a Muppet Wiki. I knew these off the top of my head, but only because my mom wanted to work with Jim Henson before I was born. She made her early childhood education emphasis in puppetry. In fact, last year for Christmas, I bought her her own Whatnot (a Jim Henson Company designed muppet) to use at school for teaching the kids.

Thanks Narf and thanks to everyone else who have supported this shirt over the last two years, it's been an amazing ride and it looks like its not going to be over any time soon. Thanks again!

It seems that Binge's success was already prophesied.
From Day of Reckoning 121 by Jason Toon:

Cue the slow, mournful trumpet. Just three weeks shy of the 100-week mark, our longest-running t-shirt has been Reckoned. Thanks for the memories, The Cake Is A Liar. But honestly, we've been wondering when this would happen. We're talking about a shirt that debuted on November 3, 2007, riffing on a game that was hot at the time - there must have been some weeks when more people bought this t-shirt than the game that inspired it. Now top 10 fixture and all-time top seller Nevermore assumes the mantle of longest-surviving active shirt. And maybe two years from now, we'll be marking the passing of this week's new #1, The Binge. As pop culture references go, it's certainly based on more enduring source material. Get your piece of cake while you can - it goes in the trash at midnight Central time.

Ok, so I already own this shirt, in fact, it was my first purchase on shirt.woot... And then you know what happened about 6 hours ago? THEY MADE IT INTO A HOODIE!!! And can you guess who is about to own said hoodie? ME. :-D I am so far beyond excited, I can't even tell you. Thank you SO much for creating this design (as well as 'Epic Fail' and 'This Was a Triumph' [both of which I own]). :D ♥

We need more hoodies. It's cold and I want this shirt in a hoodie, and nevermore also

I know this shirt has about 55,000 sold, but I really love it. Own both the hoodie and the shirt and I've even had a few people regonize it in the real world. "Hey, that's the Binge! Everyone knows the Binge!"

I've been lusting after this shirt for the longest time.
I would pay more if you made it in a women's medium v-neck.
I just don't wear regular collared shirts - I think it was a past life experience where someone must have messed with my neck.

Love this shirt! Bought it for my brother for Christmas (yeah, I like to get my shopping done early) because he loves cookies and milk! And, this is just too perfect! I may have to buy myself one...I just can't wear it until after Christmas, lol!

My you are the early shopper. Glad you like it and I would definitely suggest getting your own copy. Especially while it's still on an American apparel blank and not anvil

I've never bought a shirt.Woot before despite purchasing a number of other items here. Going through the thread, it appears to me as if Woot has begun manufacturing this shirt with a worse brand as opposed to the one they used to use. Is this correct? If so, is it reason enough not to purchase the shirt? Just saw this design for the first time today and love it.

It really depends on personal taste in shirts and as always is subjective. If your a guy the new shirts fit pretty good still. I liked the american apparel shirts more but they are very comparable in feel and fit ( at least when I wear them, others may experience slightly different results) I've had some of my own prints on them from woot now and I do like them just not quite as much as before.

For women this is another story entirely. If you are petite the new woman's shirts will swamp you. If you have more curves then it may fit you better and be more flattering especially in the chest area. There's a whole big discussion thread on it in the forums.

Another problem many have is that the shirts are no longer made in the USA. For some that's a problem for others it's not. Some are upset but still buy, again it's a personal thing. Overall though I think the new blanks are still of good quality but they do carry some drawbacks compared to the previous offerings. I think that you'll like the finished product but I may be slightly biased. Hope this helped

In my home right now, I have three copies of this shirt in two different sizes under XL, an apron which is definitely not XL-sized, and a poster which I would qualify as medium-sized. I am not sure why you believe that this shirt should not print on sizes smaller than XL, but if woot printed an XXXXL poster, I'd happily put it on my wall; willingness to purchase would depend on whether it was an XL or XXXXL price, however.
